This will not work: Fax -> SIP ATA -> [internet] -> Asterisk -> FXO -> Fax Because you don;t have end-to-end T.38 support, Asterisk supports T.38 pass-thru but not origination/termination (yet). However, what *should* work is: Fax -> SIP ATA -> [internet] -> Asterisk -> SIP ATA -> Fax the SIP ATAs obviously have to have T.38 support - for example a Linksys SPA2102 should do it for you. I've never tried faxing between ATA's so I don;t know if they can actually negotiate T.38 support between each other, but I don't really see a reason why they couldn't. -- Matt Watson http://www.mattgwatson.ca _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
